On Mobile, Black Friday Matters More Than Cyber Monday

Reach your customers with just what they’re looking for at just the right time, targeting them on Black Friday, learning from what works on Black Friday and then pushing again on Cyber Monday.

Given the world in which you work, you might instinctively focus your marketing efforts on Black Friday’s younger, modern cousin, Cyber Monday.

But think again if you’re marketing on mobile, or running promotions aimed at the mobile shopper: Data shows that when it comes to mobile sales, Black Friday outpaces Cyber Monday.
